What if Trubs is benched half way through the season and Chase kicks some ass? I thought that's what 50% of this board wanted?

Of the couple of hundred posters on CCS, I think I've seen one person say Daniel should start.

I said it and will continue to say it. When it comes to Trubisky, I've seen enough to know I've seen too damn much. Chase Daniel is the best QB on this team. It doesn't mean he's great or even above average. Just means he's better than the one Pace got fleeced for and Tyler Bray.

I've said since draft day, and after Pace traded away a crazy amount of picks to move up 1 spot, that Pace's tenure with the Bears will be directly tied to the success or failure of Mitch Trubisky.

And as we've seen, Trubisky has yet to take that next step from crappy to mediocre. And obviously until he takes that step, he can't take the following step from mediocre to good. And since he's still at crappy, and not yet at mediocre or good, "franchise QB" status is no where in sight.

So, I suspected that if Mitch didn't take any of those steps, Pace maybe had another year after this one.

But, in picking up Mack, Pace elevated a top 10 Defense to potential top 3 level. The Bears defense is already Top 10 in several defensive categories: Sacks, TOP, points allowed, Penalties, Yards rushing, forced fumbles, Defensive points scored....

So, the question is simple, does Pace trading away the teams future to bring in Mack to build a dominating defense buy him more time if Trubisky ends up continuing to be crappy and busts?

Woke up feeling a bit dramatic, did we?

See...... guarantee you there's one other.

No.
Pace lives & dies with Mitch.
Which is why Mitch needs to be steady & dependable by years end.
Even then he needs to be above average next year.

Either of those two things fail then so does Pace.

Mitch has 2 games under Nagy so I'm not even worried at the moment. Certainly not as meltdown as the dainty fucks around here.
But Mitch needs to have a solid second half of this season. And right now he isn't near that. Need to start seeing that solid play consistently in the next 2-4 games.

Preferably starting today.

Wait... People read the IGTs?

It's full of neckbeards and mouthbreathers. Fat, basement dwelling losers.

I think we've identified the real issue... Stop reading the IGTs = problem solved.

I don't disagree at this point, but Trubisky isn't going to be benched this year.

If you're you and I'm me and 2 is 50%, I don't have any alts so all of them.
